  • Interested control points can subscribe to the low power proxy to receive events when the device? ower State is changing.
  • control points have the latest information about the power state of the devices that are relevant to their operation. Additionally, by having a pointer to the low power proxy of the device, a control point can change the power state of a device (i.e. wake up the device) in an independent way, without having to be concerned with the particularities of the specific bearer of the device. To accomplish this task, the control point asks the low power proxy to wake the device, and the proxy performs the task.
